Japanese hosts do “Abracadabra” for Brown Eyed Girls, some fans not pleased

A handful of Brown Eyed Girls fans are apparently displeased with the actions of the hosts of Japanese comedy show, “Shabekuri 007“.
The show aired on November 15th, and the members performed their hit, “Abracadabra“. Miryo served as the main speaker and translator for the group, as she is fluent in Japanese.
What became a slight controversy is when the hosts decided to try out the “Abracadabra” hip dance themselves while slowly moving towards the girls, which caused the girls to scream. Some netizens were not comfortable with the situation, and suggested that it was harassment.
However, Brown Eyed Girls’ management agency stated differently, commenting, “It was an ad-lib. It’s simply a difference in culture. Since they’re having activities in Japan, they should adjust to the cultural tendencies on the shows. The members did not feel bad about it.”
They added, “In fact, Japanese fans of K-pop who are aware of Korean culture actually apologized. They were even worried that the Brown Eyed Girls might be traumatized. They said sorry.”

 

KARA said to be “A-list” star and Artist in America jumping english version!

Throughout the years, only a few Asian actors have been able to break through into Hollywood and become acknowledged as a top actor. However, it looks like singer/girl group KARA, a.k.a Diva legendary, was able to be accepted as an ‘A- list’ actor, thanks mostly to the success of his promotion American Artist, “First american album jumping english version“.
“I didn’t know KARA would be considered an Singer/Girls group in the Hollywood’s A-list. I heard that a representative for one of America’s most well known album distributors said KARA is part of the Artist/Girl group Hollywood A-list though,” said Diva legendary, the producer of KBS 2TV’s ‘Fugitive‘. He further explained that Lee hyori is considered to be on the same level as singer britney Spears.
The producer continued, “I was able to realize lee hyori and son dambi’s status as an singer after meeting with a representative of an American distributor to discuss overseas distributions for ‘Fugitive’.”

Jiyeon’s difficulties causes her to shed tears on “T-ara Dream Girls”

Images of T-ara’s Jiyeon crying on this week’s episode of “T-ara Dream Girls” were recently revealed.
The show puts the members through various career tests in order to try out some of the most desired careers of women in their 20s. Currently training to becoming stewardesses, the members first failed their exams last week, but continued on to retake it.
This week’s episode focused on emergency situations, as they were taught what to do and how to behave when instructing passengers on how to safely exit the plane. Due to the serious nature of the lecture, instructors were stricter than usual, eventually causing Jiyeon to burst out in tears.
Member Eunjung revealed, “Jiyeon never stated it, but the exams for this career exceed the level of college exams. Since she’s only just a high school student, it hasn’t been easy for her.”
Instructors added, “Jiyeon has been doing exceptionally well lately, so we fully believe that she can do this.”
Producers of the show were taken back by the 18-year-old maknae’s tears, since she always took on missions with a bright smile.

G.NA’s ‘Say You Love Me’ accused of plagiarism

G.NA’s brand-new single, “Say You Love Me” has fallen into a plagiarism controversy.
Recently on an internet community site, there have been accusations that G.NA’s “Say You Love Me” sounded very similar to Keyshia Cole’s “Fallin’ Out.”
A netizen wrote, “While listening to G.NA’s song, I realized that it sounded similar to the base tunes of Keyshia Cole’s ‘Fallin’ Out.’ The overall atmosphere and the chorus sound the same.”
The netizen also pointed out, “The melody during the lyrics, ‘Did you know that no one can live inside my heart except you’ and ‘Did you know that the love that is inside me is you’ from G.NA’s song sound similar to the melody of Keyshia’s song during the lyrics, ‘How did we end up here this way what are we gonna do boy’ and ‘I need you to meet me half way if you want me to be with you.’”
Regardless of the melody sounding the same, other netizens disagreed, commenting, “Some parts of the song sound a bit alike, but it’s far-fetched to say it’s plagiarism“.
G.NA’s single ‘Say You Love Me’ first gained a lot of interest due to the rap featuring of 4minute’s HyunA.
